As Capitol Region municipalities face the ongoing challenges of administering local governments and guiding the development, conservation and preservation of communities, CRCOG’s Policy Development & Planning Department carries out a range of activities to meet local needs. Policy Development & Planning projects cover diverse topics: land use, zoning, housing, sustainable and livable communities, transit oriented development, brownfields, natural disaster mitigation, and data management. Our responsibilities include work mandated by the State Statutes and other projects pursued at the direction of the CRCOG Policy Board and the Regional Planning Commission.

Regular meetings of the Regional Planning Commission are held on the third Thursday of January, March, May, September and November at 7:00 PM at the West Hartford Town Hall, 50 South Main Street, West Hartford, unless noted to the contrary.
